"I made this last night to bring to work with me today. My husband tried a piece of it and wouldn't let me bring it to work. He loved it so much. That's a huge compliment since he doesn't typically like sweets. This is a great recipe!"

"A lot of recipes that call for frozen rhubarb include a note that says to thaw and drain it before incorporating the rhubarb into the batter. Is that recommended here?"
